Meet up details for Oslo and Amsterdam

If anyone is interested, Carl and Dick will be in front of the Spektrum in Oslo (where the JavaZone conference was held) at the entrance where the rocket ship was (still is?) tonight (Friday 14th) at 8pm local time. We are intending to go looking for beer and possibly lutefisk. Anyone who wants to is welcome to meet up with us.

Also, tomorrow (Saturday 15th) Dick is aiming to be in Molly Malone's Irish Pub close to the Amsterdam Centraal station at around 8.30pm to 9pm (very roughly - depends on flight, time to find baggage, etc.) so if anyone would like to meet me there, please do.

Roundup 2007 Session - Desktop and Web

Recorded at the Java Posse Roundup 2007. Since this was recorded, the
landscape has changed a bit, with Adobe Apollo being renamed to Adobe
AIR, Java FX being launched at JavaOne, and Google Gears also being
released. The audio quality is what you would expect from a recorder in
the middle of the room with lots of people sitting around it.

Quick News

Greg Stein, the director of the Apache Software Foundation
was mugged outside his home, at the time he was on crutches from a
broken leg injury a couple of weeks before. Kevin Burton is having a
donation whip round to do something nice for Greg while he recovers

We have sat upon this news item for a couple of weeks due
to problems accessing the site, but GridGain 1.5 offers an open source,
java based grid computing solution built on top of spring and JBoss. As
well as a 15 minute video demo of writing a grid application, and the
download itself, the gridgain company offers training, consulting and
support. They also seem to have a fondness for 2x2 rubiks cubes (which
seem like they wouldn't be much of a challenge to solve)
